Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

Waiting is hard. Waiting is not fun. Patience is a virtue.

Time - we have some time now. We sort of miss the daily filling out papers, copying forms, going to FedEx and seeing our little friend the notary at the bank.

So what do we do?

A furniture makeover for our little one...

Good thing is, it's not too hot here in July!
